Memory Box Toolbox 3D Embossing Folder Birthday Card…

June 1, 2023June 1, 2023 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a card I made with the NEW Memory Box 3D Toolbox 3D Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies.

It’s so neat that you can die cut, then put the cuts into the folder to get all this detail!

I was inspired by Memory Box Dave’s card HERE. It’s such a great design I pretty much copied it!

So fun! Our grandson Rogan’s 9th birthday is today and he’s a great help with work around the house. Of course boys love tools and knives!

I used the Memory Box Wooden Alpha Dies for his name.

Happy Birthday sentiment is white heat embossed on red with the Memory Box Best Life Typewriter Sentiments. It’s from 2019 and doesn’t look like it’s available anymore. This would work also…Banner Greetings.

I used some Silver Foil and Glossy Black cardstocks for tool parts and Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool to age the Memory Box wood grain cardstock and kraft cardstock.

Everything is adhered with the thin mounting tape that I love, linked below, except for the little red happy birthday sentiment.

This card fits in a #10 business size envelope but it’s not as long as the usual slimline card. It’s 3 ¾ in. x 8 ¼ in.

Linking my card to some challenges…

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – anything goes

Can You Handle the Pressure? – Anything goes but must use an embossing folder

Cardz 4 Galz – #200 Slimline Birthday

Papercraft Crew – masculine

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Hope it gets you thinking about man cards we’ll be needing later this month for dad’s too! I have two more family birthdays this month and two gals at stamp club. No slacking on the card front here! lol

Two Grad Cards with Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Club…

May 24, 2023May 24, 2023 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! Some fun cards that came together fast. I was so glad the club kit has birthday and graduation sentiment banners!

A2 size cardbase with a panel on top… die cut all the parts…you even get the cloud dies in the set! It’s such a good deal for $15! You can purchase later but the price is $27!

One of our grandsons when he was a toddler loved lining up his airplanes like a lot of boys line up cars! So cute! Now he loves fishing, playing the piano and drums….and swimming and and and! lol Airplanes always make me remember this about him.

The dies in this kit make lines to follow where the pieces go! THAT is so great! Helpful! Speeds it up!

The words in the banners are such a neat look!

I used my favorite double sided mounting tape to adhere the die cuts to the card. The clouds are glued flat.

I had a lot of pictures for this first card… second card I only have two. So keep scrolling! lol

Basically the same thing only Slimline size…matte gold and matte silver scrap pieces for the airplane.

I love the clean and simple approach with the dark medium blue sky! So fun!

My daughters needed 7 grad cards so these 2 will go with 5 others I made for them. So fun! I love it when I get to use my supplies!

Thank you so much for stopping by and before you go I better tell you about the SALE Spellbinders has going on! Some wonderful products to choose from! So glad we can order online since Hobby Lobby quit carrying them.

Have a good rest of the week!

Spellbinders Clear Stamp and Die Set Monthly Club Card…

May 10, 2023May 9, 2023 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Today is all about you…once a year that is! Hip Hip Hooray! This is such a cute set!

I didn’t use very many of the dies for this card but I did stamp and die cut them all before I started this card.

Then I decided to stamp and heat emboss in white and color with color pencils! It was a quick color because small spaces!

Very simple coloring…two shades of each color.

I used Caran d’Ache Pablo pencils.

Almost a one layer card!

I die cut the panel with Hemstitch Rectangles and layered onto black cardstock with my favorite thin mounting tape.

It turned out sweet! I love the cuteness of the whimsical fonts included with the stamp set and that the space is already figured out, where to place them! I heat embossed in white on black cardstock and die cut them with the included dies! yay for dies!

I have too many pictures but oh well, makes up for the times I don’t have very many. haha

A little different angle. The stamp lines are very delicate and embossed up so nice!

I think it ended up feeling very feminine even though it’s on kraft! I like it!

It’s A2 size…

Spellbinders May Large Die and 3D Embossing Folder of the Month Clubs…

May 5, 2023May 5, 2023 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Time to introduce new clubs over at Spellbinders papercrafts! It’s all about birthdays this time and boy they come around faster and faster these days! haha

A really fun 3D embossing folder that my photos don’t do it justice! Getting used to a season change and light with photos again.

The die set has so many dies! You can make the banner as many levels as you want! I was thinking the banner would be great for graduation cards too! Glossy Black! Gold! Silver! Besides the Happy Birthday To You words, there’s Wishes, Enclosed and Sending. FUN!

Then there’s balloons and flowers! Both would be great for any occasion and in any colors!

Also a great way to use up scraps! My card is an A7 size but would easy work for A2 or A6 also!

I’m getting excited about making grad cards now that I’m thinking and talking about it. You could personalize it with alphabet dies or stamps with the name and year too!

To find out about Spellbinders Monthly Clubs, click/tap over to their website HERE. It’s really easy and such a good deal! Links below to the clubs I used today.

thank you so much for stopping by!

Memory Box Magnolia Leaf Brand, Magnolia Bud Trio and Backyard Wren Mini Slimline Card…

May 2, 2023May 3, 2023 Pam Sparks10 Comments

This card says hello for me! I had fun looking through the new paper pads and playing ‘matchy’! hahahaha Almost felt like I was quilting again!

This release is stretching me! I rarely use purple but not this time! Purple it is!

This is such a sweet bird die… NEW….Backyard Wren. So sweet and Memory Box just put a post up on Instagram showing it in all different colors! So I decided I could use purple! Why not!

I took pictures with a white background too but they look so washed out, I’m not posting them! Crazy what a difference!

Cards always look better IRL even with all the awesome technology we have these days!

I die cut the Magnolia Leaf Branch, Magnolia Bud Trio and Backyard Wren in white Hammermill cardstock. I colored the branch and buds with Copic Sketch Markers and the wren with my distress oxide ink blending brushes. I didn’t ink them just used the ink that was in them already.

I like coloring dies and cutting from colored cardstock. I was thinking of the branch this time and knew I’d want the branch brown and leaves green. It’d be really easy to do colored cardstock also…next time!

I used a new poppystamps die for the sentiment, Hello Moonlight Script. What a fun name! What a beautiful font! The white cardstock is Hammermill and the black is Memory Box Glossy Black. I love that cardstock so much. I’m on my last sheet from the ten pack!

The pattern paper is the NEW 6×6 pads from Memory Box! I’ll link them below with everything else.

Linking to some challenges!
